Halo Maker Bungie Splitting Off From Microsoft (MSFT)

As previously
rumored, videogame producer Bungie Studios is
splitting from parent Microsoft (MSFT). Bungie's
Halo is the flagship game series for Microsoft's Xbox
platform. Halo 3, released Sept. 25, hit $300 million of
sales worldwide in its first week. Microsoft will keep an equity
stake in Bungie and the studio will continue to make games for
the Xbox. "Practically speaking, nothing has changed and you guys
won’t see much, if any difference, for a while," Bungie
promised on its blog today. Microsoft
bought the company in 2000.
